Appearance
Gang Orca in the manga.
Gang Orca is a tall, well-built man whose body has the features of a killer whale thanks to his mutant-type Quirk. He has deep white eyes that feature several rings that circle his red pupils. At times he can look extremely menacing, which is why he's ranked third in heroes that look like villains.
Gang Orca's normal hero costume consists of a white suit with a high collar. The collar reaches all the way to his chin and it is decorated with diamond shapes that are made to look like teeth. This goes with a pink tie made to look like a tongue is coming out. He also wears a killer whale-like cape over his back.
During the Provisional License Exam, Gang Orca sported a red vest over his torso and wore metal gauntlets on his arms.

Personality
Gang Orca's villain persona.
Gang Orca appears to be a calm and focused hero who treats every situation seriously. He is friendly and a good comrade toward his fellow heroes. He was relieved that Tiger was able to rescue his ally and calmed him when he was worried about her condition.[4] Gang Orca also teased Best Jeanist about being unable to change Katsuki Bakugo's personality.[5]
Gang Orca can put on a menacing and ruthless persona when required. He acted like a true villain during the latter stages of the provisional licensing exam and was a consistent threat to the students. He is not above calling out the students on their mistakes. Despite his hard exterior, Gang Orca admits that he enjoys seeing the students trying to make up for their mistakes.[6]
The No. 12 Hero takes teaching aspiring heroes a lesson very seriously. At the remedial course, he was very rude and belittling to the students who failed the licensing exam. Gang Orca has a strong desire to make friends and get along with young children. It is unknown where this attraction for younglings comes from, but it is one of his more prominent features as shown in the anime. Because of this special interest, he was to help motivate them so they could become heroes with heart.
